Is Hacking good or bad?

Question

If its good, how its good;
if its bad, how its bad?

Bad for the hacked one
Bad for the hacker getting cought

Answer 2

Hacking was never meant to be known for doing bad things but because of media and criminals, hacking is now seen as bad. Good Hacking is now known as Ethical Hacking.

Hacking just plain and simply means to gain unauthorised access. It's the intent behind the hacker that determines whether he'll be labelled as a Hacker or an Ethical Hacker.

Answer 3

Neither. Hacking doesn't have a moral compass, we humans do. We've collectively come to the conclusion that privacy is a basic human right and all actions that fringe upon it are looked down upon. However. what is "unauthorized access" is still often largely up to inter Leaving your Facebook open so your friend can access it, is a very different kind of breach of trust than a multinational illegally collecting and selling their customers information.

I'm not trying to make a moral relativist argument. I think the tactics employed, the cautions taken and the damage caused while they're trying to find vulnerabilities make a real difference. I don't practice hacking but I'm friends with some White Hats and I support their cause, while I oppose some of the very questionable hacking going on in the Deep Web right now. The ends don't justify the means.

Answer 6

Hacking is like a frying pan. You can either improve and inspire by creating, or you could wreak havoc and break what others built. Those that hack to break are often referred to by ethical or white hat hackers as crackers for interest sake.
